NH - Hepatitis [WAS] Cayenne: medicine or irritant?

[Guest guest]

Hi Denise!

 

As you know, I have a strong NH bias. That said, I did a google

search, typing in " natural hygiene hepatitis " to see what I might

find. One of the first items was this link:

 

http://www.arnoldsway.com/5-02-01.htm

 

and from that, a short summary follows:

 

 

[in summation, yes hepatitis is a serious disease. And to the doctor

(whom I never had an argument with since I do not have that label

behind my name, nor do I have 10 years of medical training, but I do

have an opinion based on my research) the way to treat hepatitis

successfully is two-fold.

 

Remove that which causes it and give the body the necessary food

material, which will rebuild the liver.]

 

He also included a reference to Marti Fry's experience with

hepatitis, as:

 

[in researching hepatitis further, the natural hygienist Marti Fry

who personally had infectious hepatitis wrote an article on just

that: " How I overcame infectious hepatitis. " Her choice treatment was

a fast, which means to abstain from all food except for distilled

water. A fast acts as the body's ultimate healing system. As

quoted, " During this period the body redirects its energies to the

elimination of toxins and repairs the cell and tissue damage that has

occurred largely as a result of toxic material in the body. Marti's

total fast lasted 13 days, in addition to a week of recovery on a

hygienic diet. Afterward she was not only back to her old self but

also with more energy.

 

I researched further discovering articles written to Dr. George

Malkmus who printed their stories of success, which occurred once

they changed their diet. Dr. George Malkmus of Hallelujah Acres

teaches health from a biblical perspective. " The original diet of raw

fruit and vegetables handed down to mankind by God in Genesis 1:29 as

the perfect means of nourishing and sustaining our bodies in abundant

health without all the processed foods and drugs of this world. " ]

As I remember it, inflammation is the 4th of 7 stages of disease,

following enervation, toxemia, and irritation. anything that ends in

an " itis " refers to an inflammation, and what preceeded it refers to

the body location exhibiting the symptoms. I've never had hepatitis;

I have had nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys, for which I was

hospitalized when I was ~8 years old..I've had a couple

of " flareups " - excessive albumin in the urine, over the years. None

since I've been raw. I've been " monitoring " my Irises (sounds like a

flower bed, doesn't it?), and they're beginning to show some signs

of " healing " ....we'll see...

 

I still can't quite wrap my brain around

it might; don't know. I prefer to concentrate upon supplying the

body with optimal nutrition, and working many of the other 30+

factors for optimum health (there was a previous post here about

them..think it came from Bill...) - if needed, I can find them again.

I know they start off with Air, Water and Sunshine.

> Would Natural Hygienists here deny that I have hcv?

 

They probably would neither confirm nor deny that " diagnosis " ; that

name --- is it true that you have an inflammation? probably...is it

true that where is manifesting itself, showing itself, letting you

know that it's in a state of " un-ease " , is the liver? ok...

Would you say I am in

> denial and am only creating it with my 'thinking' and previous bad

eating

> habits????

 

no, not creating...created it through " previous bad eating habits " -

possibly...and bad eating habits are not the only Natural Hygiene

Rule that we can violate. Raw Food is the focus of this list, and I

constantly need to remind myself whilst I'm here, that Food is only

one of 30+ elements of Health. Many other things may be contributing

to the body's " un-ease " . I personally like the word " un-ease " , or at

least " dis-ease " vs. disease, which has such a large societal,

emotional hook.

Oh, I wish I could make it go away...just with my thoughts

 

Positive emotional state will assist...

> I am on the raw path now, and do hope that it will help my body

heal,

 

I firmly believe that Health can only be created by Healthy Living.

 

> but...well, I'm just very interested in hearing more about how some

don't believe

> it's real

 

oh....I have no problem believing that your body is expressing some

" un-ease " - with whatever " diagnosis " it may have been labeled with.

 

and that when your body is suffering from something like this,

herbs

> don't support healing???

 

I've already expressed my opinion of most herbs in the condiments

post. No need to rehash that here...

" For the successful care of the sick, therefore, it is not sufficient

to confine our attention to the organ or part affected we must care

for the whole organism "

 

Hope this provides some support; I suggest typing in the search:

there are lots of others references. My bias is to stay in

the " Natural Hygiene " realm...and if you find any by H.M. Shelton,

I'd take them almost as " gospel " .

 

and here's another, better, link to NH info:

called INHS classics...

 

(found this one by refining my Google search, and adding the word

Shelton to my search..took me here...)

 

 

all the best, (more in a minute...)
